East Devon's charming market town of Honiton has a lot to offer tourists. It is bordered by rolling Devon hills, verdant wooded valleys, and numerous dispersed rural communities. Honiton has a lovely Main Street reaching approximately 2 miles, and lined with independently owned stores, taverns, and restaurants. Since Elizabeth I's time, Honiton has been known for its lacemaking, and there are still a few of them working now. Visitors can view some exquisite specimens of old lace at the town's Allhallows Museum. Thelma Hulbert Gallery, located in the charming Grade I-listed Victorian home in Honiton, is the sole public art gallery in East Devon and has connections to the Hayward Gallery in London.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with a freshly baked cake made by Anna which was a lovely treat! We couldnât believe how quiet the surroundings were at night (could even hear the owls!) and loved star-gazing whilst sat in the hot tub! Everything we needed for a weekâs stay was in the property and only 15 mins from Honiton for shops, pubs etc! The last couple of miles are via some very narrow, single track lanes - would definitely recommend doing a Google Street view before travelling as this really helped get an idea of whereabouts the property was and what to expect! Would thoroughly recommend!
